Basic Dog Obedience Training Thursday, August 26, 2010 $90.00
|
For those dogs who need to learn some "manners", who need a refresher course, or just need to learn how to socialize a bit more. The trainer for the Basic Obedience classes is Greg Franklin. Greg, who owns ABC Dog Training, has been involved in training dogs since 1990 when he took on the challenge of working with an extremely destructive Samoyed, aptly named "Cujo". Remarkably, Cujo went on to win "Best in Breed" at a local A.K.C. show. Greg's focus turned to law enforcement training when he acquired his first German Shepherd Dog. He became a State Certified Law Enforcement Instructor and worked with such agencies as the Riverdale Police Department, the City of Decatur, and Clayton County Narcotics. But the love of pet dogs drew him back to the private sector in 2001. Greg not only conducts the adult obedience classes, he also teaches the agility classes and offers private instructions either here at DDC or at your home. For more information on Greg, check his website at www.abcdogtraining.net.

Intermediate Adult Obedience Thursday, October 14, 2010 6 weeks $100.00 |
Adult Obedience II (Intermediate) is geared toward those dogs who have some mastery of basic obedience commands such as “sit”, “down”, “stay”, etc., but are inconsistent in following those commands, particularly when off leash. Taught by Greg Franklin, this class will utilize common, everyday distractions (e.g. knocking on doors, other dogs walking by, leaving the room, etc.) while working on reinforcing obedience commands. Emergency commands will also be introduced in order to better simulate real life situations. All classes are centered around the task of passing the AKC's performance evaluation and certification as a Canine Good Citizen®. The Canine Good Citizen test will be administered on the final night of class.
